Strategic Education Advisor in Language Development and Emergent Literacy (expat) - VVOB

Organisatie

VVOB

Hello! We’re excited to see you found your way to this job opening. That must mean you share our ambition to ensure learners around the world enjoy their fundamental human right to quality education, without exception. We are hiring an expat Strategic Education Advisor in Language Development and Emergent Literacy to strengthen our team in Vietnam.

Vietnam has an almost universal enrollment in pre-schools at the age of 5. Theoretically it creates an ideal starting position for children to build good learning attitudes that will help them to be successful throughout their school career. The remarkable achievement of almost universal participation has, however, not yet resulted in overcoming the structural inequalities that still exist in the country. Children growing up in economically challenged households, in remote areas or in families where Vietnamese is not the first language are seen to start their school career with a disadvantage that the school system is not able to help them overcome.

As the Strategic Education Advisor in Language Development and Emergent Literacy you will Lead the development and implementation of various teacher and school leader professional development packages and trajectories on language development and language-rich learning environments for emergent literacy.

Krapte op de arbeidsmarkt: de kijk van Fons Leroy

De problematiek van de krapte op de arbeidsmarkt gaat al een hele tijd mee. Meer en meer sectoren hebben het moeilijk om werknemers te vinden. Hoewel we voorzichtig moeten zijn met de interpretatie van cijfers, wijst het aantal vacatures dat de laatste maanden bij VDAB verschijnt ook op een opmerkelijke stijging in de socioculturele sector. Tijd voor een gesprek met Fons Leroy.

Thuiswerken: het nieuwe normaal?

13.06.2022

Thuiswerken, we hebben het tijdens de coronaperiode allemaal noodgedwongen gedaan. Omdat het moest. Plaats- en tijdsonafhankelijk werken is niet nieuw, maar de pandemie lijkt voor veel organisaties de brandversneller geweest om werk anders te gaan organiseren. We gaan te rade bij onderzoekster Joni Delanoeije.
